Hawaii Smog Check / Emissions Test

Currently, there are no vehicle emissions test requirements in the state of Hawaii. The air quality of Hawaii is some of the cleanest in the U.S. Honolulu is constantly ranked among one of the cities with the least ozone air pollution nationally.

Also, many people choose to rely on scooters and mopeds or use other low-emission transportation. The reason for this lifestyle choice is that Gas prices in Hawaii are extremely high and people avoid using gas vehicles when they can.

However, the State of Hawaii requires all motor vehicles to get a safety inspection. Hawaiian residents must get a safety inspection for their vehicles for:

  • Every year for used vehicles
  • Every 2 years after the first inspection for new vehicles, then yearly afterward

Pollution kills upwards of 200,000 people every year. Vehicle emissions test programs help but are not always enough. Even though it is rare in Hawaii, the state does provide the public with air pollution and ozone warnings. When Hawaii alerts the public of these air quality incidents, there are several actions residents can take to protect themselves, their families, and environment:

  • Stay indoors when possible
  • Start a rideshare or carpool for work
  • Work remotely or from home
  • Adjust your thermostat up in the summer; down in the winter
  • Use public transportation
  • Ride a bike or walk more often
  • Refuel your vehicle during cooler times of the day
  • Don’t use lawn mowers and other gas-powered equipment
  • Avoid the use of aerosol products, oil-based paints, and solvents.
  • Do more with fewer trips; combine errands and schedule travel around multiple commitments
